Two new finite difference methods for computing eigenvalues of a fourth order linear boundary value problem

This paper describes some new finite difference methods of order 2 and 4 for computing eigenvalues of a two-point boundary value problem associated with a fourth order differential equation of the form (py″)′​′+(q−λr)y=0. Numerical results for two typical eigenvalue problems are tabulated to demonst...
